If a half of chicken can lay half an egg in half a day, then 1 chicken can lay 1 egg in 1 day.
10 chickens each lay 1 egg per day makes 10 eggs in 1day.
10 days times 10 eggs =100 eggs.
Get it??

Kinda confusing question b/c it can go one of 2 ways. Either you have 10 chickens laying 10 eggs a day for 10 days which will = 100 or if you go w/ the whole 1/2 day thing then you have 10 chickens laying 2 eggs a day a piece (1 egg every 12 hrs) then you'll have the 10 chickens laying 200 eggs in 10 days. Hmm.

If half a chicken can lay half an egg in half a day, then one chicken can lay one egg in half a day.
If one chicken can lay one egg in half a day, then 10 chickens can lay 10 eggs in half a day.
There are 20 half-days in 10 days, therefore, 10 chickens will lay 10 eggs 20 times, therefore they will lay a total of 200 eggs.

I'm thinking 20 because the 10 chickens aren't half(atleast it doesn't say so in the question).
If half a chicken make 1 egg a day, I'm guessing a whole chicken make 2 a day. 2*10=20
so all the chickens together make 200 (20*10(days)) in 10 days,

If half a chicken can lay half an egg, than a whole chicken can lay a whole egg... the half a chicken can lay half an egg in half a day, then you double it with a whole chicken.. half a chicken can lay a whole egg in an hour.. so. one chicken in half an hour.... can lay... well... dang.. I need more beer before I can figure this out.. I'm trying to imagine half a chicken..

If they are always laying a half of an egg, then no whole eggs ever get laid, so the answer is none. You need to get chickens that can lay whole eggs.

100
if half a chicken lays half an egg
then 1 chicken lays 1 egg
so if you have ten chickens they woud be layin 10 eggs a day
10 eggs a day times 10 days=100

Perhaps it is a biology question about the relationships between half chickens and whole chickens. I mean is one have chicken and the other half some other species? I mean if it was half chicken and half ostrich then It could pretty easily out do a normal chicken.

Okay so our
1/2 chicken
1/2 egg
12 hours (half day)
1 chicken
1 egg
24 hours (whole day)
10 chickens
100 eggs (one egg per chicken)
240 hours (10 days)
So that means 100 eggs.

20 eggs, because a whole chicken would lay a whole egg in half a day, therefore two in a full day.
